# Content:		This folder contains all data for the third preliminary example
				
				The third preliminary example aims to compare the three proposed boundary conditions with respect 
				to the shear stress distribution. The shear stress distribution is evaluated over the thickness of
				the RVE at two positions:
				1) x,y = 0.25,0
				2) x,y = 0.5,0
				Where the RVE has the dimensions -0.5 < x < 0.5, -0.5 < y < 0.5, -0.5 < z < 0.5.
				
				Abbreviation of the boundary conditions:
				pbc - periodic boundary conditions
				sbc - shell boundary conditions
				tbc - traction boundary conditions
				
				Detailed description may be found in [1].
